What Kind Of Cross Are You Carrying - How To Resurrect Your Life

·1 hr 22 min·5 clips

Rogers says misaligned purpose is the third dysfunctional cross, where people carry a plan "that God didn't give."

The message opens in Matthew 16 and stays with Jesus’ call to deny self. It keeps the focus on taking up the right cross and following with purpose. The preacher reads farther to connect surrender with reward. He frames the choice as one of life, soul, and eternal profit. Then the sermon shifts into Jehoshaphat’s story. That shift matters because the king has already seen God fight for him. The victory is not the end of the lesson. The warning starts when Jehoshaphat allies himself with Ahaziah. The alliance is treated as wicked and out of bounds. The preacher reads that move as carrying somebody else’s assignment. He says a person can be doing well and still step out of God’s plan. When that happens, the flow stops. The sermon lands on the line that God destroyed the work. The ships are wrecked before they can sail. That image becomes the proof that wrong partnerships break momentum. From there the message circles back to the listener’s own burden. It calls for carrying the cross that belongs to you, not the one that came from somebody else’s path. The closing note is resurrection power. The congregation is urged to stand up, believe, and keep praising through dark days. The finish is triumphant: the speaker insists that death and defeat do not get the last word.

As heard by us

A forceful sermon on obedience, discernment, and carrying the right cross.

The message centers on Matthew 16:24-28 and treats Jesus' call to deny self and carry the cross as a warning about borrowed burdens and the cost of living outside God's assignment.
